I saw this "PC Accessories" serial trackball at a surplus store and having not really done anything with trackballs before I decided to grab it and give it a shot. I first tried it on a windows 2000 PIII machine and it was recognized as a standard microsoft mouse, the buttons all seemed to work but the trackball itself didn't move the mouse. So then I took it over to my 286 MS-DOS machine I ran ctmouse which also saw it as a microsoft mouse, so I fired up a game and it was the same deal, trackball did nothing but buttons worked.
At this point I'm suspecting that this thing requires some special drivers but I couldn't find anything, interestingly there is also a switch on the bottom with positions 2 & 3, with 3 selected the buttons don't even work and with 2 they do. Anyone seen this thing before? Know any mouse drivers that might support it for DOS or Windows?
